Only a fifth of adults in the United States do enough physical
activity to meet the guidelines set by Centers for Disease Control.
The health benefits of regular physical activity are beyond
dispute, yet less than 40% of physicians routinely counsel their
patients on the importance of physical activity. Increasing
Physical Activity: A Practical Guide equips healthcare
practitioners to include physical activity counseling in the daily
practice of medicine. Written by lifestyle medicine pioneer and
cardiologist, Dr James Rippe, this book proves inactivity is a
stronger risk factor than other lifestyle factors for
cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and many other diseases. It
provides evidence-based information on the role of physical
activity in preventing and treating chronic conditions and includes
practical strategies for healthcare practitioners to prescribe this
powerful method to enhance both short and long-term health and
quality of life. Features: Specific chapters explain the role of
physical activity in reduction of risk of heart disease, diabetes,
cancer, osteoarthritis, dementia and many other chronic conditions.
Chapters begin with bulleted, key points and conclude with a list
of clinical applications. Strategies are provided to encourage
previously sedentary individuals to adopt regular physical
activity. Physical activity is placed in the context of other
lifestyle medicine concepts including maintenance of a healthy body
weight, following sound nutritional practices, stress reduction and
other practices which impact on health and quality of life. Written
for healthcare practitioners at all levels, this is a
user-friendly, evidence-based manual for healthcare practitioners
looking to incorporate more physical activity counseling into
either general medicine or subspecialty practices.
